USA Wrestling and the NCAA team up to hold Big Ten vs. Big 12 Challenge in freestyle wrestling in Omaha, Neb. on Friday, March 19  :  In a cooperative effort, USA Wrestling and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) will present an exhibition men’s freestyle wrestling dual meet as part of the NCAA Fan Festival which is held alongside the 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Omaha, Nebraska.  The event is called the Big Ten vs. Big 12 Challenge and will feature wrestlers who competed for universities in these prestigious conferences as undergraduates. The competitors are now pursuing their Olympic dreams in men’s freestyle wrestling.  It will be held at Exhibit Hall C of the Qwest Center Omaha on Friday, March 19 from 1:45 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. Central, as part of the annual NCAA Fan Festival. This is just a short indoor walk north from the Qwest Center Omaha, site of the 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.  Admission to the Fan Festival is free, so there will be no charge to watch the men’s freestyle action. For the Big Ten vs. Big 12 Challenge, there will be close to 1,000 seats and many more standing room only viewing opportunities provided matside on a first-come, first-serve basis. In addition, as many as 1,000 fans will be able to watch the dual meet on two large projection screens flanking the main stage within the Fan Festival.  “This is a great concept,” said USA Wrestling National Freestyle Coach Zeke Jones. “  For those who cannot attend the NCAA Division I Championships in person, the Big Ten vs. Big 12 Challenge will be webcast live on NCAA.com/wrestling and available through TheMat.com, with USA Wrestling’s Jason Bryant calling the action.  This year’s NCAA Fan Festival will feature wrestling exhibit booths, displays, memorabilia, interactive games, souvenirs, food and beverage sales, and a number of other featured events. In addition to the Big Ten vs. Big 12 Challenge, the lineup Friday includes a USA Wrestling autograph session at 3:15 p.m. and the annual Semifinals Preview Show featuring Nate Carr, Scott Casber and Wade Schalles at 4 p.m. Central.
Dwyer Claims Big 12 Championship :  Norman, Okla. – Senior Stephen Dwyer (174) earned the first conference title of his storied Husker career, while senior Craig Brester (197) finished runner-up to lead the Nebraska wrestling team at the 2010 Big 12 Championship on Saturday in Norman, Okla. The Huskers finished the tournament with 32 points and have now automatically qualified four wrestlers for the 2010 NCAA Championships this March 18-20 at Qwest Center Omaha.
Koehnlein Earns At-Large Berth, Brackets Set for 2010 NCAA Championships
Lincoln – Junior 141-pounder Mike Koehnlein was among the 50 at-large selections announced in the final brackets of the 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships released Wednesday evening by the NCAA. Koehnlein’s berth for the national tournament increases Nebraska’s representation to five qualifiers who will be competing at Qwest Center Omaha next week.  In addition to Koehnlein, senior Craig Brester (197), senior Stephen Dwyer (174), sophomore Tucker Lane (Hwt) and redshirt freshman Josh Ihnen (184) had previously earned automatic-qualifying spots following Saturday’s Big 12 Championship in Norman, Okla.  A junior college transfer from Westminster, Calif., Koehnlein finished the season with an 18-15 record, including an 11-9 mark in dual action. The 141-pounder cracked the national polls in late February when he earned a No. 20 national ranking from InterMat heading into postseason competition. It will be Koehnlein’s first Division I national championship appearance, although he was a two-time junior college All-American at Cerritos College (Norwalk, Calif.) before transferring to Nebraska.   Qualifying spots were based on Division I winning percentage, RPI and coaches ranking.  The 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships take place next Thursday-Saturday, March 18-20 at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb.
